Children who have begun to read independently are ready to learn about the function of words. To accomplish this, Maria Montessori developed special grammar symbols that make the study of the nine parts of speech a sensorial experience. These colorful symbols highlight the pattern created when words are put together a certain way and thereby assist the children in absorbing the structure of language. Grammar helps children become better writers.

Impressionistic Lesson:Introduce the noun during a group lesson. Distribute cards/labels with names of people (classmates), places (restroom, playground, office, etc), and things (classroom items). Have the children bring these objects to the mat. “Look at all these objects! We have a book, a chair, a vase, ... Oh, Linnette, you’re not a thing; you’re a person, aren’t you. Welcome! And the bathroom! What happened to bathroom? You couldn’t bring it, could you? It is a place.”

“Let me tell you about all these words. All these words are matter. And Maria Montessori came up with a symbol for these kinds of words.” Use a square-based pyramid as a prop to tell a story about the oldest things in the world. Add picture cards or postcards as needed. “Look at these pyramids. (Show picture.) They have been around for 5000 years at least; they are some of our oldest structures still standing. And coal has been forming in the earth for thousands of years; it is black. Montessori took the side of the oldest buildings in the world and gave the color of one of the oldest substances in the world (coal) to the oldest words in the world. (Show the symbol.) Noun. Can you say that word? Noun. Nouns are names. (Begin distributing black triangle symbols as you review the labels on the mat.) They’re names of persons (oh, Linnettte is the name of a person, isn’t it?), places (What about the bathroom? That should get a symbol too, shouldn’t it?), and things (box is a noun; vase is a noun; chair noun,…). Look at all these names; these are all nouns. Persons. Places. Things. These are very old words. Early humans came up with these words a long time ago. And you know what? If you invent something, you get to name it, and it becomes a noun.” Additional activities:make a noun collage, classify according to person/place/thing, discuss singular and plural, introduce common and proper nouns

Shelf Work: Have a basket of objects and their labels (use a black background). Use words that early readers can decode. The children can place black foam triangles above each word. Then they may write the words in their journals, use a template to draw a black triangle above the words, and also draw a picture (helps with comprehension).

Miniature Environment/Farm:
The function of this activity is for extra practice. The feminine, masculine, and baby animals on the farm is also preparation for foreign language.

Take the objects out and name them. Take the labels out and put the object on top (one label for each object). Put the black triangle above the triangle. Record the words in a journal.

Article - a small light blue equilateral triangle

Impressionistic Lesson: Introduce definite/indefinite articles as a group lesson. Set out all the objects in your articles basket. “Who wants to play a game with me?” Ask a child for a dog. Then tell the child that the object he has given you...

...simply put, is a system of symbols with an agreed upon meaning that is shared within a group of individuals. Maria Montessori understood that children have to learn language, that it is not inborn. She also understood the adolescent mind has a long sensitive period for language. Because language is deeply connected to the process of thinking, the child will need to be spoken to and listened to often.
Each child learns language at their own rate and pace. There can be different factors, such as a child learning multiple languages at once. Most often, with little effort, the child will be able to learn oral language by being in an environment that fosters conversation. Early on, toddlers will begin to make intentional sounds, "At one year of age the child says his first intentional word…his babbling has a purpose, and this intention is a proof of conscious intelligence…He becomes ever more aware that language refers to his surroundings, and his wish to master it consciously becomes also greater….Subconsciously and unaided, he strains himself to learn, and this effort makes his success all the more astonishing." (The Absorbent Mind, p. 111) Most children by the age of two will have a rapid growth in language comprehension. Towards the end of the second year the child is able to combine two or more words into basic sentences, “Every child…bursts out with a number of words all perfectly pronounced. And all this occurs at...

...Sensorial education helps develop a child's intellect. Whether you believe intelligence is genetic or produced by environment, you can further it by education. Intelligence is built upon by experiences and thought processes. The Montessori materials for ages 2 1/2 to 6 are designed to help the child's mind develop the necessary skills for later intellectual learning.
Sensorial impressions of child's environment are not the same as sensorial education. Impressions are feelings and not an intellectual building block. The human mind needs information to discriminate and appreciate its culture, art, music,poetry, reading and all aspects of the environment. Early sensorial educational material was provided by Dr. Montessori for this purpose.
Sensorial apparatus provides a particular purpose and focus. It includes using the child's hands, senses, and spontaneous activity. When a young child sees something new and exciting, he or she will want to touch the object. Young children will grab a new kitten and hold it immediately, they want to feel the reality of the object.
This education is not an exercise to sharpen the senses, but to allow a child to use his or her senses to understand what he or she sees. The first lessons present contrasted sensory materials and then graded materials. This teaches concepts of comparing and contrasting. For example, the first colors introduced are the primary colors, which are the most distinct on the color...

...the Roles of functionwords
Abstract Different functionwords play different grammatical roles, have different distributions, have different kinds of meanings, and have different phonological forms. This paper mainly deals with the roles of functionwords in reading and the psychological function of functionwords.
Key words:functionwords; functionwords in reading; psychological function;
I. Definition of FunctionWordsFunctionwords (or grammatical words or synsemantic words or structure-class words) are words that have little lexical meaning or have ambiguous meaning, but instead serve to express grammatical relationships with other words within a sentence, or specify the attitude or mood of the speaker. They signal the structural relationships that words have to one another and are the glue that holds sentences together. Thus, they serve as important elements to the structures of sentences. In other words, they are the glue that holds content words together and include such words as pronouns, prepositions, articles, conjunctions, and auxiliary verbs. They...

...MontessoriMontessori Method has not only developed in the United States, but has spread worldwide. There are over 4000 Montessori schools in the United States and Canada, and total about 20,000 worldwide. Parts of the world include Asia, Western Europe, New Zealand, Australia, and Central and South America. The general impression is that all Montessori schools are the same, however, there is a great deal of diversity within the school system; no two schools are the same.
Montessori schools can be found in nearly every community across the United States and Canada in such places as basements, converted barns, shopping centers, and so on. They are found in suburban and inner city public school systems as well as affluent and working-class neighborhoods. Head start programs, child-care centers, and even Indian reservations have Montessori schools. While some schools remain faithful to Dr. Montessori’s vision others incorporate flexibility and pragmatic adaptation. Each school reflects its own blend of personality, facilities and programs as well as their own interpretation of Dr. Montessori’s vision.
Aspects of the Montessori method – Pros/Cons:
With anything in life there are pro’s and con’s to it. Often time’s people have different view-points on whether something is a good aspect or a bad. A few of the aspects are obvious as to which side they fall on. Some of the...

...Role and Functions of Law
Law plays an important role in how societies and businesses function. There are rules and laws for just about everything. If there were no rules or laws in place, society as we know it would not exist. Businesses would be much different than the ones we see today. The Laws intent is to provide fairness, equality, and justice. It provides protection, settles disputes, and enforces consequences for breaking the law. Everyone is subject to the law, which means it does not matter if a person is rich or poor, young or old. Every person has equal rights. Laws regulate acceptable social behaviors in society and acceptable practices within businesses. According to "Law and The Rule of Law" (2012), “Laws protect our general safety, and ensure our rights as citizens against abuses by other people, by organizations, and by the government itself” (3).
A society is made up of many different kinds of people, such as different cultures, backgrounds, religions, beliefs, and so on. The laws functions are to create an even playing field, so that all individuals are considered equal despite their differences. Laws protect our rights as citizens. Laws allow citizens to have freedom of speech and freedom of expression as long as those beliefs do not infringe on another person’s rights. Laws allow people to engage in their religious belief and cultural backgrounds without fear of persecution. Also, there are laws that help...

The primary responsibility of health care managers is to foster an environment that can provide necessary and quality health care at maximum profit. They determine budgets, order and receive supplies, administer payroll and benefits, and distribute regular communications. They keep up with relevant health care laws, technology and standards, and represent their organizations at external meetings, such as community forums and investor gatherings. To determine health care needs and how medical decisions affect the procedures and finances of their facilities, managers conduct regular meetings with doctors, vendors and patients. The functions of management are planning, leading, organizing, and controlling. In a diversified health care industry, all four functions remain relevant.
Planning is a responsibility of management to establish institutional goals and strategies for meeting their goals. Once the institutional goals and strategies are established, management then breaks the organization down into teams, departments or individual roles and responsibilities. Organization is a direct result of a successful planning. Implementing and establishing a suitable structure ensure that all division and departments or physically ready to perform the task most efficiently and is staffed and funded appropriately for a smooth operation of the...
